Transparent toolbar and overflow area

[yanairon]

Hi everybody, I tried to have a transparent toolbar (Background="Transparent") but the overflow area (this thingy with a button that you can drag the toolbar from - don't know it's technical name :) ) stayed. Does anybody know how to make it be transparent without the need of a new control template which requires me to build everything from scratch? I know i won't have any overflow items and the toolbar is fixed (can't be drag) i will appreciate a clue :) Yanai

If you just want to hide the drag area of the ToolBar you could put it inside a ToolBarTray and set the ToolBarTray.IsLocked property to "True", if you also want to hide the overflow area you will need to define a new style for the ToolBar, for example:

        <Style x:Key="{x:Type ToolBar}" TargetType="{x:Type ToolBar}">
            <Setter Property="OverridesDefaultStyle" Value="true"/>
            <Setter Property="Template">
                <Setter.Value>
                    <ControlTemplate TargetType="{x:Type ToolBar}">
                        <Border CornerRadius="2" BorderThickness="1" Background="Transparent" BorderBrush="Black">
                            <ToolBarPanel IsItemsHost="true" Margin="0,1,2,2"/>
                        </Border>
                    </ControlTemplate>
                </Setter.Value>
            </Setter>
        </Style>code>
